The Special Investigation Commission has obtained additional arrest warrants from the court for former Defense Security Command Chief Yeon In-hyung and former Intelligence Command Chief Moon Sang-ho, who were arrested and indicted on charges of involvement in the martial law on December 3.
On the 30th, the Central Regional Military Court stated that it had issued arrest warrants requested by the military prosecution against former Chief Yeon for perjury and against former Chief Moon for leaking military secrets and violating the Personal Information Protection Act.
Former Chief Yeon was arrested and indicted on December 31 of last year for serious offenses related to the martial law, including engaging in rebellion and abuse of power. Former Chief Moon was also arrested and indicted on the same charges on January 7. According to the Criminal Procedure Act, the maximum detention period for the first trial is six months, so the two were scheduled to be released next month.
As a result, the military prosecution added charges against the two on the 23rd. The military prosecution believes that former Chief Yeon perjured himself regarding the infiltration of the National Election Commission by the Constitutional Court and the military court. Former Chief Moon disclosed military secrets related to personal information regarding the Second Investigation Division.
